You heard the hysteria... Now the facts from your SPF Council:

Mail::SPF::Query does NOT, by default, enable the 'best guess' mechanism.
Let me repeat that: NOT. And shouting real hard about it does not make it
so, either, btw. "guess", like "debug", "trusted", etc, is a parameter
that needs explicit setting; like so:

my $query = new Mail::SPF::Query (ip => "127.0.0.1", sender =>
'foo(_at_)example(_dot_)com', helo => "somehost.example.com",
trusted => 1, guess => 1);

It does not matter if it by default enables it or not. The point is that
its in that code and the code is considered reference implementation.

The only way to do it is to separate best guess code into separate perl
module that could be installed and could use the original module but
override its results in special cases like this buest guess when no
SPF record was present.
